As the guests arrived, they made a couple of guesses at our guessing booth. The person that guessed the correct number of candies was given the jar full of goodies to take home.
Our carnival prize punch was a big hit with the guests. They threw small rubber balls at the foam core boards until they were able to break through the tissue paper. When the child succeeded, he/she was able to reach inside the cup and claim his/her prize. You can find the full step-by-step tutorial for the carnival prize punch here.
Every guests was also given access to our giant tattoo board. I cut out dollar store tattoos and taped them to a piece of foam core. Then, guests were able to easily select a tattoo for me to apply. Fun, right?
The party also had a basic face painting station. I bought some inexpensive face paint, and drew out a few simple designs. I am not an artist so I kept things pretty basic, but it was still fun.
The straw draw was requested by my middle son, and it was a huge hit with the party guests. I cut up bits of paper, and then I left some blank and marked some with an "X". Then, I rolled up the bits of paper and inserted them inside one-inch pieces of paper straws. The party guests chose straws, and the ones that found "X"s exchanged them for prizes.
Carnival party games don't get much easier than knock down. All you need to do is: stack cups, throw a ball, and knock them down.
I found colorful bowls at Walmart for $1 each, and I knew they would be perfect for a bean bag toss. The kids loved trying to get points and get higher scores than their friends.
Every child loves the simplicity of a ball toss game, and this one was inexpensively made from an old box. You can find the full tutorial for our ball toss here.
Our final game was a basic ring toss that I made from a recycled paper towel roll. I wrapped the paper towel roll in red and white duct tape, and then I hot glued it to piece of canvas. I made rings from several pipe cleaners wrapped together.
All of our carnival games were easy and inexpensive... but they were also awesome and lots of fun! You can download all the red and white carnival signs that I designed here. Which carnival games would your kids enjoy?

Fantastic work, thank you so much for shedding a light on the topic.
ReplyDeleteHi Gina where did you get those neat carnival theme Labels for your games? I'm throwing a Carnival theme birthday party for my twin girls in 2 weeks but I can't find nice label for my games. Thanks for sharing your awesome DIY bday party ideas.
ReplyDeleteHi Desiree. I made them at Picmonkey.com (for free). I then had them printed at Staples for $0.39 each. If you have any trouble figuring it out, let me know. You can email me at EastCoastMommy.com
DeleteThanks Gina for your reply, I really appreciate it. Yes I found the Picmonkey website. I figured it out after a few tries. I will print them in Staples this week. Your tips are very helpful. I will update you if my printing is successful:)! from westcoast Mom:)!
DeleteAwesome! Have fun at your party. :-)
DeleteHi! Can you tell me how you made the labels? I went on the Picmomkey website and couldn't figure it out. Thanks!
DeleteHi Ivanna. On Picmonkey... select "Design and 8X10". Then, make lines using red rectangular overlays (under Geometric). Then, you can add a white overlay that you can find under "labels". Finally, write the words using the "BUDMO JIGGLER" font.
DeleteThanks I like to through party's for my family so this one is going to be fun

DeleteI am confused on the draw straw game. Do they blow out the piece of paper from inside the straw?
ReplyDeleteThe straw is actually smaller than the paper, so they just pull it out. ;-)

ReplyDeleteGood write up mam... Keep it up
ReplyDeleteLove all your fun ideas! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHow many times do you think each child played the games? Was their someone who earned like 20 tickets and wipe the stash?
ReplyDeleteNo. I made sure that everyone only won one prize ticket from each game, and everyone was able to play every game and win a ticket. Everyone won prizes, and everyone was happy.
DeleteIt's great to see that you just started this new website of this amazing project. Thanks and keep it up!
